Photographer's Note

This is another shot from my stop at the Concorde square few days ago.

It was the opportunity to test the live view feature on my camera and I have to conclude this is a great plus for tripod composition since it make the set up of the scene far more comfortable and it helps to find new angles which would be almost impossible if I had to look through the viewfinder (for instance, I could set my tripod on the bridge above the Seine river at about 2m high).

I'm a bit disappointed by the cloudy sky which made me miss the blue hour nice background. I've heard that today Paris was under snow. I whish I was there trying new pictures at sunset.

Beautiful nightshot. I think the sky actually looks quite interesting and it's different but not worse than a blue hour shot. Too bad part of the fountain is cut off but I don't know if it would have been possible to include it in its entirety.

Hello Steven,
In spite of the wide-angle deformations your image remains a very pleasant sight to look at. I hope you don't mind a workshop trying to adjust the perspective as well as the white balance.
Regards,
Guy
